England vs India, 2018: Best combined Test XI of the series so far

Wicket-keeper: Jonny Bairstow

Bairstow has been the best in the business for quite a long time now

Jonny Bairstow has been doing a good job for the Englishmen at the No.5 spot in the longest format of the game. With minimal doubts, Bairstow has been the best in the trade for past few years. Having scored a significant amount of runs for England, Jonny has been Englishmen's first choice wicket-keeper.

Besides, Bairstow has been the highest run-scorer for England in this series so far. Barring the third Test where he sustained a finger injury, Jonny had a decent outing in the first and the second Test. Bairstow auto-selects himself in the playing XI as a specialist wicket-keeper batsman.
